DID YOU KNOW….

It is against the New York State Vehicle and Traffic Law (Sec. 1219) to deposit snow or any other material on public highways and sidewalks.
No person shall plow, blow or shovel snow onto or across a highway or sidewalk.
Definition of Highway: The entire width between the boundary lines of every way publicly maintained when any part thereof is open to the use of the public for purposes of vehicle travel.
It is the homeowner’s responsibility to keep snow on your own property or proper steps will have to be taken to prosecute violators.
We need to work together to keep our roads open during the snow season.

Thank you for your cooperation – The Eden Police & Highway Departments.

To Erie County’s Stakeholder Community:

Hello!  As you know, Erie County is updating its Hazard Mitigation Plan (HMP).  The HMP will analyze the hazards faced by the county and its municipalities, residents, and businesses, and will identify a strategy for minimizing the vulnerability to these hazards.  You may remember being invited to the Planning Partnership Kickoff webinars that were held on November 18 and 19, 2020.  You can find out more about the HMP and the planning process here: https://www.eriecountynyhmp.com/.

I would like to invite you to provide more input into the planning process.  We have developed a short survey about the county and the risks it faces.  We would greatly appreciate it if you would complete the survey and otherwise participate in this important endeavor.  The survey can be found here   https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/ErieCountyStakeholder

Bulk Garbage Pickup is the week of December 8th. Only 2 items outside of your garbage tote will be picked up.

The time is now…

The Town of Eden had 64 new cases this past week.  That means that in the past two weeks, we have had 105 new cases.  This is over a 100% increase from the first 8 months of the pandemic combined for our town.  If you compare to other zip codes from our area, you will see we are the worst.  I have been in communication with the County and we can’t pinpoint a single reason and therefore we must consider this to be widespread.

I am urging residents to only celebrate Thanksgiving with members in their households this year.  I realize for some; this sacrifice is great.  However, this is the necessary steps we must take to help save lives.  Together we can get through this. Please continue to wear masks, wash hands, social distance and support our local businesses as best we can.

Please have a safe and as happy as you can Thanksgiving.  Remember, a vaccine is near and we must be strong a little longer.  #Edenstrong

Due to the Thanksgiving holiday Thursday’s garbage pick up will be on Friday and Friday’s regular garbage pick up will be on Saturday. 

The next bulk pickup ( allowing 2 extra items outside of your tote) will be the week of December 6th.  

Route 62 will be closed from First to Second Street starting on Wednesday, November 11th. Both lanes will be closed during the day and will reopen at night.
